Scarlet Alliance is an incorporated association made up entirely of past and current sex workers. We have staff members, a board of directors, members and working groups who advise on and implement our work serving the wider sex worker community. All converge at our annual National Forum.

Governance 

Our board of directors, the Scarlet Alliance Committee, is made up of past and current sex workers who are elected by the membership at the Annual General Meeting.

The team is made up of six members:

1. President
2. Vice President
3. Secretary
4. Treasurer
5. General Member 1
6. General Member 2

Scarlet Alliance also provides opportunities for sex workers who are new to governance, or who have skills and knowledge but lower capacity, to participate in the Committee through observer roles. We call these roles ‘Doubles’, and there’s one Double that corresponds to each of the Committee roles. This is a unique structure designed to improve sex workers’ capacity to participate in Scarlet Alliance governance.

The Committee is accountable to the membership of Scarlet Alliance, which includes Individual and Organisational members.

If you’re interested to get involved with the Scarlet Alliance Committee, you can learn more about the roles and how to put yourself forward for them here. To learn more about our current Committee members, check out Our people.

Staff 

Our staff deliver our project and program work. Staffing levels vary with funding arrangements, and most of our staff work part-time. Here’s our organisational chart, showing the positions we currently have. 

Members 

The Scarlet Alliance membership consists of member organisations (100% peer), associate member organisations (less than 100% peer), or individual members. All agree to uphold the objectives of Scarlet Alliance and abide by our constitution. You can learn more about the benefits and types of membership here.
